Got around to watching We Need to Talk About Kevin on Netflix, and hot drat that is one gut punch of a movie. Tilda Swinton and Ezra Miller both had incredible performances.

I forgot that Ezra Miller was in that. We have seen :flashfap:

Goddamn I love this film. Tilda Swinton is the next evolutionary step for humankind- I've adored her since I saw her in The Beach which is one hell of a guilty pleasure movie for me.

For maximum gut punching watch Kevin and then The House of Sand and Fog

It was way scarier to me than The Babadook which had pretty similar themes.

Does Narcos S3 flesh out the Cali guys more? Two episodes in and they seem like generic unsympathetic Boss Bad Guys. Escobar was such a larger-than-life character with amazing delusions of grandeur that you couldn't help rooting for him a bit. He was at least very loyal to his family, but these Cali guys seem like they would screw anybody over at the drop of a hat. It seems like maybe they're setting up some other characters to fill the sympathetic role instead?

A bit. S3 focuses more on events and the DEA / Columbians getting lucky with Salcedo.

Honestly, the only thing that didn't really work for me was when Eleanor's bad behavior caused the town to go haywire; the concept was funny, and Eleanor and Chidi having to scramble to hide that it was Eleanor's fault was hilarious, but the actual effects of the things happening were super janky and kind of ruined the joke.

Michael's reaction to "Jianyu" marrying Janet is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in a TV show.

My wife and I have an almost 7-month old boy and she still won't watch it. I keep telling her not to worry though, since he's not colicky and doesn't seem to only cry and scream around her.

But yes, it's an excellent film, and Lynne Ramsay really needs more feature films. I've heard You Were Never Really Here is good, and I certainly hope it gets a wide release soon.

I was into that show while it was coming out, and now I can remember literally nothing about it. I dunno if that's more my issue, but I feel like maybe it just didn't have staying power.

Hmm, I wonder if there's a meta service that will aggregate all these different content producers together, possibly in a bundle style subscription model, so I only have to pay one party... it could come in over the coaxial line in my apartment. we could call it uhhhh

I get the joke you're making, but it's also the case that Amazon does this right now. That's why you can buy, like, Showtime through them. Though it would be odd for Disney to use that.

It would be pretty cool if Netflix would appear as a channel on amazon but I'm sure they'd never go for that. (Well maybe eventually if they totally give up on being a generic streaming service and just have their own content and become less obsessed with being an awesome technology company that spends tons of money on BIG DATA to give totally useless recommendations.)

Seriously can't remember the last time a twist got me, that show went from Parks and Rec to Westworld in half an hour. I started feeling a hunch when the flashbacks with Tahani being so obsessed with her self image, but couldn't quite grasp the big picture.

Yeah, it's one of those shows that seem cute but kind of dumb on concept. It's hard to sell people on it, because you can't really convince people without spoiling anything for them. It's more of one of those shows where somebody has to trust your taste, and take your word on it.

I'm excited for season 2.

You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
The season 1 "is it supernatural or not" argument is the dumbest loving thing in the world, because either way it's about two jagoffs staring into the face of evil, and there's enough there for it to easily be interpreted either way and still arrive in the same place thematically.

However, teasing season 2 as being about "the occult history of the post office" and then not delivering is a hanging crime.

It's a bit hit or miss. 1 is definitely the weakest. The ending felt like a real wet fart but I liked it until that point.

2 and 5 are the best episodes and 6 is pretty interesting if nothing else.

The new Bojack is pretty solid so far. Just getting to final third, which is where things traditionally start to get outrageously dark. Maybe not as funny or clever as the previous seasons, but satisfactory.
